The overall theme was the issue of NSNW as NATO approaches its summit in Chicago next month. With a lot on NATO’s plate — like Afghanistan — and elections looming in the U.S. and France, there’s not much likelihood that the Alliance leadership will be tackling this issue this year, or anytime soon (maybe), which is unfortunate.

It is unfortunate, as we are on autopilot with those things as it stands, although, on the flip side of that, when you are on autopilot, the incentive might be to to try to accomplish less with very subtle little hints too, on the brighter side of things.

The AAUP’s 1940 Statement of Principles:

“College and university teachers are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.”
